At first unzip all files together in a separate folder (e.g. d:\BlackBishop). Edit the BlackBishop.ini file, to setup BlackBishop. The Hash, PawnHash and TBCacheSize values are in MB. Don't forget to setup the right table base folder (TBPath=...) in BlackBishop.ini.
Playing in console mode:
To play against BlackBishop in console mode, just start BlackBishop.exe and then enter "textmode" inside BlackBishop.
With this command you will see a lot more output, than without. To get a help about all possible commands, just enter the command "help".
Install BlackBishop as a Winboard engine under Winboard:
If you want to install BlackBishop as an engine under Winboard, you have to edit "winboard.ini" inside your Winboard folder.
There you have to insert two lines. The first under "/firstChessProgramNames=..."
"BlackBishop" /fd=d:\BlackBishop
The second line you have to insert under "/secondChessProgramNames=..."
"BlackBishop" /sd=d:\BlackBishop
Instead of d:\BlackBishop use the folder, in which you have installed BlackBishop.
Install BlackBishop as an Winboard engine under Arena:
To install BlackBishop under Arena, press key F11 and then press button New. In the following window you have to select as type
of engine "Winboard". Now you can select the BlackBishop.exe, that's it. For further help, just read the very good help files inside Arena.
Install BlackBishop as an UCI engine under Arena:
You can install the engine also as an UCI engine under Arena. Just do the same as installing BlackBishop as an Winboard engine.
The only difference is to select as type of engine UCI.
Install BlackBishop under other chess GUIs:
I havn't tryd BlackBishop under other GUIs, but BlackBishop should also work under all other GUIs, which can handle Winboard or UCI engines.
